Contextual Overview
1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day Jehovah spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of Aaron's sons: Nadab, the first-born; and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of Aaron's sons, the anointed priests whose hands he consecrated to act as priests. 4 And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, for bringing strange fire before Jehovah. And they had no sons. And Eleazar and Ithamar acted as priests in the presence of their father Aaron. 5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and you shall cause it to stand before Aaron the priest. And they shall serve him, 7 and keep his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8 And they shall keep all the vessels of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9 And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his son. Giving they shall be given to him out of the sons of Israel. 10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons,.... To be their ministers and servants:
they [are] wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel: even all of them entirely, none excepted; the whole tribe which were not in the priestly office; those were separated from the rest of the tribes of Israel, and appointed for the service of the priests: or they were "given, given" q; which is repeated not only to show that they were wholly given, as we render it, but to denote the certainty of it, that they were really given; and especially to declare the freeness of the gift; the priests had them as free gifts, nor did they pay them any thing for, their service; they were maintained another way, namely, by the tithes of the people; and indeed the priests received a tithe out of the tithe of the Levites; so far were they from contributing any thing to their support, or in consideration of the service they did them.
